Change or delete a markup

Select a markup to move it, change its size or colour, or delete it. Changes save as you make them, and everyone with the sheet open sees them within a few seconds.

Change a markup

1. Tap the markup on the sheet (click it on a Mac). It’s selected, with handles round it, and the Markup Editor opens at the bottom of the screen.

2. Change what you need:

   • Move it: drag it to where it should be.
   • Resize it: drag a corner handle. On an arrow, drag the handles at its ends to make it longer or shorter.
   • Turn it: drag the handle below it.
   • Restyle it: in the Markup Editor, pick a colour, slide the opacity, or pick a Line Weight.

3. When you’re done, tap an empty part of the sheet, or the X on the editor.

Put the editor out of the way

The Markup Editor can cover a markup low on the sheet, and the room to drag its handles into. Tap the selected markup again (click it again on a Mac): the editor goes, and the markup stays selected with its handles, so you can resize or move it anywhere. Tap it once more to bring the editor back. A double-tap or double-click counts as one of these taps, not two.

Delete a markup

1. Tap the markup to select it.
2. Tap the trash can in the Markup Editor.
3. When asked “Are you sure you wish to delete this markup?”, tap Delete.

“Markup Deleted” shows, and the markup goes from everyone’s sheet. You can also delete one from Layers: pick it in the list, then tap its trash can.

Who can change what

• Crew and Managers can change and delete the markups they drew.
• Admins can change and delete anyone’s.
• Viewers can’t change markups, though they can hide them for themselves.

When you tap a markup and the Markup Editor doesn’t open, it isn’t yours to change.

Good to know

• Hiding a markup in Layers only changes your own view. Deleting takes it away for everyone, and sends nobody a notification.
• The Markup Editor doesn’t open while Layers is open. Close Layers to change the markup you picked there.
• If someone moves a markup while you have it selected, it stays where it is until you let go of it, then moves to where they put it.
• Offline, you can move, resize, restyle and delete markups as usual; the changes wait in your Outbox. If someone else changed the same markup meanwhile, the Outbox asks which to keep: Use mine or Keep theirs. See Work offline.
• An archived project can be looked through, but nothing in it can be changed.

Note

Deleted a markup you drew offline before it was sent? It’s simply gone: nothing is sent, and nobody hears about it.
